Running time: 1h10 (70 minutes) (video trailer : https://vimeo.com/79555677) (website: www.wangramirez.com/en/work/borderline) Company: - 5 dancers (3 male, 2 female) - 1 rigger (male) - 1 lighting manager/stage manager - 1 sound manager - 1 producer/tour manager GENERAL INFORMATION We kindly ask the partner venue to send us a very detailed technical rider with precise material listings (lights, sound, maskings and curtains) and information about the grid (dimensions and maximum load). We also require precise plans with measurements (ground-plan and cross-section) and, if possible, photos of the stage. Please send us a plan in Autocad format. Once your plans have been received, we will send you the adapted lighting and stage plots including a technical schedule. STAGE CONFIGURATION We work with a classical black box configuration (12 to 14m width and 10 to 12m depth) with 6 or 7 legs on each side. The legs are straight and black. We also use a straight black backdrop composed of two pieces. The whole stage is covered with a black dance marley. During the performance, we work with a rigging system for flying effects. We use 3 independent rigging systems consisting of pulleys and cables. They are installed and operated by the rigger who is part of the company. Some flying effects elevate the dancers 3m from the ground. Each of the 3 rigging systems uses a flying bar or is hung on a triangular truss running from stage left to stage right. In the use of a truss, each shall be safely rigged to the main grid or the overhead structural steel beams of the stage with heavy duty cables or chain motors. Each rigging system must be solidly spanned off the side walls of the stage with straps or bars to prevent any movement during the flying effects. The flying systems' trusses/pipes are 7m to 9m high and hidden from the audience with the legs and borders of the stage. The lighting equipment is just above the flying systems' trusses/pipes. The flying effects are operated from both wings. A fly bar movement (fly in / fly out) occurs at the beginning of the show. The scenery also stages 2 cubes of 2m made of black and natural aluminium tubes (provided by the company). They are manipulated by the dancers. The performance consists of a lot of floor choreography: the audience sight lines should be carefully taken into consideration. Borderline technical rider November 2017 2 / 13
DESCRIPTION OF THE FLYING SYSTEMS (see attached flying systems plot) 1) The first "line" of the flying systems ("moskow/bungee", at 4m from the apron) is used for the main flying effects that elevate a dancer a few meters above the floor. An operating cable attached to the standing point stage left runs through the pulley stage right to the master pulley in the stage right wing, allowing the rigger to control the height of the flying effect. The dancer is attached to the cable with a harness in the middle of the stage and can fly from stage left to stage right and downstage to upstage within a 10m circle. In the stage right wing, a "switch board" (see attached picture) is used to rig the operating cable and serves as a steady counterweight on the floor. It is composed of a 1,50m pipe or truss attached to two columns (70-80cm high) of weights strapped together (total weight is 400kg). A plaque of wood may be required under each column. Depending on the type of grid different rigging equipment is possible, requiring the availability of overhead structural steel beams: - A grid with 500daN flying bars (counterweighted or motorized): the pulleys are directly rigged to the flying bar. In order to strengthen the system, we can use 2 adjoining flying bars rigged together with pipes and clamps. The whole system is secured at the working height with 4 chain motors of 250daN and safety slings attached to the overhead structural steel beams. An extra safety sling is required above the master pulley. - Other type of grid: it is necessary to use a triangular truss of 300mm to attach the pulleys. The truss is rigged to the overhead structural steel beams with 2 or 3 chain motors of 1000daN and secured with safety slings. An extra safety sling is also required above the master pulley. The flying bars or the truss are spanned off the side walls of the stage with straps or bars to prevent any movement in all directions (left/right AND upstage/downstage). 2) The second line ("dice", at 8m from the apron) is used to elevate one of the cubes (20kg) at 5m high. It is the only effect. The pulleys are stage left and operated from the stage left wing. For this effect, the pulleys are rigged to a flying bar (or on a overhead beam if height and position are adequate). The flying bar must be spanned off the side walls to prevent any swinging movement. 3) The third line ("hamster", at 2m from the backdrop) is not used for a flying effect but provides an overhead steady point allowing the dancers to pull one another: a dancer is linked to another dancer with a cable which runs through a pulley. They interact with each other on the floor. The direction of their movement is towards the audience with medium dynamic force. For this effect, the pulley is rigged to a flying bar (or to steady points on the grid, for example overhead beam, catwalk, gallery, if height and position are adequate). The flying bar must be spanned off the side walls AND the back wall at the position of the pulley to prevent any forward movement. 4) In addition, 2 sliding movements on the floor with cables and pulleys require 2 steady points on the floor: 1 stage right behind the backdrop, 1 upstage left in the wing. The steady points can be weights (150kg and 100kg) or any rigging point in the floor or in the wall. Borderline technical rider November 2017 3 / 13
TO BE PROVIDED BY THE VENUE: The venue must provide all the necessary equipment to rig the pulleys and cables of the company, including all safety and spanning items. Line n 1: depending on the choice of rigging system: - "adjoining flying bars": clamps and short pipes every 3 meters, 4 chain motors of 250daN, 5 heavy duty slings, 4 straps to span or pipes to strengthen the flying bars to the side galleries or side walls, - "truss": a triangular truss of 300mm, the length of the truss is approximately the distance between the side galleries or side walls, 2 or 3 chain motors of 1000daN, 3 heavy duty slings, 4 straps to span or pipes to strengthen the flying bars to the side galleries or side walls. Line n 2: 4 straps to span or pipes to strengthen the flying bars to the side galleries or side walls. Line n 3: 4 straps to span or pipes to strengthen the flying bars to the side/back galleries or side/back walls. On the floor, behind the backdrop, stage right, 150kg weight strapped together or any steady rigging point in the floor or in the back wall to attach a pulley. On the floor, upstage in the stage left wing, 100kg weight strapped together or any steady rigging point in the floor or in the side wall to attach a pulley. Equipment for the "switch board" in the stage right wing: - 400kg weight strapped together in 2 columns of 70-80cm high - a plaque of wood under each column might be required - black carpet All the flying equipment (cables, pulleys, flying harness ) is provided by the company and set up and operated only by the rigger of the company.
